Z Thompson

They both fell silent until Mitchell broke the silence.

"So let's see what's in the file"

"Oh yeah, that's right"

Michael agreed and dropped the file in between them. He took a deep breath then slowly opened the file and the first thing they said was a picture of their mom in a hot embrace with the man she drew earlier in the day, she had told them he is their father.

  "He is handsome though"

Mitch giggled and Michael rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Let's reserve that for later"

  He mumbled and flipped the next page. It was their father's biography. Both scanned through the page carefully looking for anything they might have missed. After quite a few seconds Mitchell finally spotted what she was looking for.

 "His name is Zidat Zain, a rich billionaire from Reben Castle."

Mitch voiced out and Michael stopped on his tracks.

"That's like a 3 hours drive from here and also 3hours drive from there to grandma's place"

"That's right and he is fucking rich. Here also stated that he he has a younger brother who is married with a kid and his mother is still alive." 

Michael said to his own disbelief.

"That means we have an uncle and a cousin as well. But how come there is nothing to show about his brother and family?"

Mitch pondered out loud and Michael shrugged his shoulders,"Maybe because it's about Mr Zidat, not his brother. Well we will find out soon enough."

"Okay, let's keep that aside. Here also said he has his own mansion and he is the founder of Zidat Corporation?"

Mitchell screamed.

 "No way, you don't mean the Zidat Corporation everyone knows!"

Michael asked, trying to be sure they where talking about the same Corporation.

"You can bet in that, it's the same Corporation. Remember that there is only one corporation in this country that has just that name and it's in Reben Castle so we are right"

Mitchell explained.

"So you're implying that daddy is rich as f*ck"

"Yup. I think that's what this file says"

Mitch agreed and tried opening another page when something struck her memory.

 "What's our name again?"

She asked Micheal who raised his brows in confusion.

"Have you suddenly lost your memory?"

He questioned while rubbing the side of her forehead in worry, she shook her head and replied:

"No, I'm fine. Just remember something important. kindly tell us our names

Mitch maintained.

"Okay, Michael and Mitchell"

Michael answered then returned his attention to the file.

"I know you are not dumb, Michael. I am asking about our surname"

She said, squeezing her face. Frustration was written all over her face.

  "You are the one I should said that about. You could have asked our surname at the first instance, rather you were beating around the bush."

Michael was clearly annoyed at his sister.

"Michael Z Thompson and Mitchelle Z Thompson"

He told his sister what she wanted to hear and like a flash, something got struck to his memory as well.

  "Wait a second! The Z means Zidat. So we had always had Zidat in our names. How can we not have asked questions?"

He said while scratching his head.

    Mitchell looked at her brother and chuckled lightly. This was so like him. She loved her brother very much but sometimes they both could be too dense. 

"It never mattered then that's why we never asked. Don't be hard on yourself, big bro"

She mused. Michael glared at her, making her chuckle more.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are a big baby?"

"You can stop now before I descend on you"

Michael warned his sister in a threatening tone. He seems so serious but deep down inside he couldn't stay mad at her. His baby sister has been his best friend for as long as he could remember. It's just that when she acts like this he can't help but think of beating some senses into her head.

Mitchell laughed again and gave her brother a playful shove.

"Come on, I am just joking with you"

He sighed and released the frown on his face. 

  "But on a serious note, you are a big baby"

Michael pouted his lips, pretending to be hurt and she laughed harder and kissed him lovingly on his cheeks.

"You know I love you, right?"

Michael pushed her away,"That I can never forget. Now Where were we?"

"I am not sure there is anything left to find. We know where he lives and who is he. It wouldn't be hard finding him but what I don't know is are we going to look for him ourselves"

Mitchell said thoughtfully. Michael shook his head.

" I don't know about you but I am eager to meet this man. I am not sure what will be the result but until then, we are not assuming anything and again about Claire, it's time we ask mom about her. We will put all anger aside and question her thoroughly. She owes us an explanation and that she is going to give"

Michelle 's expression turned from unserious to serious.

 "She will do us that much favour if just tell us that we need to know only then will I trust her again"

She states and that moment, a knock sounded at the door.
